Eli5 How do they make sure a poll is unbiased

Question

How do they tell if a poll is unbiased? Where do they poll for politics? Most people I know don’t answer their phones because of scammers. Thanks

Another thing to keep in mind — not every poll is supposed to be unbiased. If you want to sway opinions, maybe you *want* the poll to say that 80% of people support XYZ candidate. There’s a difference between an honest poll and one that is intended for persuasion.
